Iridescent Stained Glass in Fort Collins, CO

By |February 26th, 2016|Categories: Local, Photography, Travel|Tags: , , , , , , , |0 Comments

My father works for CSU, and took me to visit his satellite store in downtown Fort Collins. The problem is? I graduation from CU, the hometown rival of CSU. So when people stared chanting in a round "Go RAMS!" and it came to me, I shouted proudly and loudly "GO BUFFS!" And was subsequently asked to leave the store. But not before I could snap a photo of the beautiful stained glass dome in the store. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.

Traveling in winter can be tough. The gardens of the summer Linderhof Palace were especially frozen in December. This hedge wall was covered in frost, and looked glistened in the light. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography & the stories behind the photos.

Fluffball Friend of 7 Years

By |January 29th, 2016|Categories: Photography|Tags: , , |0 Comments

7 years ago on a cold wintery night, I was up late scouring craigslist for a red cocker spaniel puppy. My roommate wanted to get another dog so her's wouldn't be lonely. However, this roommate was making me take care of her dog, who was so big he could drag me. I said I didn't want another big dog in the house, and instead thought about getting me my own dog. So when it was 1AM and I saw a posting from a "Mother Dog" stating that she and her doggie hubby got "frisky" before he had his surgery and had

Wowfactor at CES

A few years ago I was at the CES show in Las Vegas. It was hard work, and on the last day I had 20 minutes to wander the show floor. I snapped this photo of I think the Toshiba or Logitech booth, not knowing what the cool massive sculpture was. It wasn't until I got home and looked at the photo that I realized the entire thing was made out of computers, tvs, and smart phones!

Shining Light on Egyptian Hieroglyphics

A new year, a new weekly series: Photo Friday! Each week I'll bring you some of my favorite photos, some of travel, some of my general life. I hope you enjoy! This Photo Friday, I share my favorite photo from Egypt. I was wandering the sanctuary area within the Temple of Horus in Edfu, Egypt. This area in ancient times would have been quite dark and only available to the priests of the temple. I turned around and saw the light shining through on the hieroglyphics, and I'm pleased with how it turned out. Every Friday Lili shares her favorite photography
